Tax appointments start on Monday, February 2, but you can schedule your appointment by calling 2-1-1 or 877-652- 1148 and select extension 27 (free tax preparation appointment). Building on past success, United Way is now partnering with several local businesses and organizations in the community to extend the reach of the program. As a result this year's program has expanded and now offers free tax prep services at a number of locations throughout the county, including the Senior Center on Gauntt Place. The United Way tax program is completely free of charge – no hidden fees – and refunds can even be e-filed with the IRS in order to receive a rapid refund without any fees. Appointments are necessary but scheduling one is easy. For a complete list of sites and to schedule an appointment, call 2-1-1 or 877-652-1148 and select extension 27 (free tax preparation appointment option). You can also visit uwhunterdon.org and schedule your appointment online. Spanish- speaking preparers also are available upon request. Clients with severe disability/mobility issues and unable to leave their home should call United Way of Hunterdon County directly to speak to the VITA Program Coordinator or VITA Volunteer at: 908.237.1689. You will be asked if there is a representative (family or close friend) that can drop off paperwork on your behalf. If not, our organization will determine the best way to serve you and ensure your taxes will be done in a timely manner. Seniors are reminded to bring their Property Tax Reimbursement applications (blue books) with them if they would like assistance in completing them. Self-facilitated, free online tax preparation is once again available for BOTH federal and state returns. Go to: www.MyFreeTaxes.com and you have access to a volunteer preparer if you need assistance in filing your return. A nominal fee may apply for household incomes of more than $60,000. This IRS-certified service is available thanks to a unique partnership of United Way of Hunterdon County and the IRS. Last year, more than 1,000 individuals had their taxes completed through the program and received more than $1.5 million in refunds and credits! United Way is working to advance the common good by focusing on income, health and education. Our goal is to invest in improving lives in Hunterdon County by creating long-lasting changes that prevent problems from happening in the first place. Great things happen when we Live United.
